[PS3] Game lock ups/freezes.

[Dappel]

Hi,

Recently I've had FFXIV freeze/lock up on me whilst playing. The first time it happened I was just questing and when I talked to an NPC the game froze. It was an unpopulated area and the system wasn't even hot. I simply reset the system using the power button and resumed play.

Today I was trying out some goldsmithing when my game froze again. I was just in the crafting screen, nothing out of the ordinary. I'm not entirely sure how long it's been since the game first froze but I'll guess about a week or so.

The odd thing is that both times I could still hear ambient noises (wind and whatnot).

My PS3 is a brand new 250gb super slim. I purchased it on the 21st of August, 3 days before early access. Other than those two freezes the game has run very smooth.

My question is if I should be concerned or not. I doubt that its my console or the consoles HDD considering I've only had it for about 2 weeks but who really knows. If its the game itself or if all PS3s do this then I don't really care and I'll just deal with it.

I basically want to know if my PS3 is faulty or not.

Welp, just froze again after like 20 minutes of playing. The console wasn't even close to being WARM.

Going to give reinstalling a shot. Is there anything else I should be doing?
